And by "God", of course he means <span>his</span> god - so jews, hindus, muslims, etc. need not apply. This is a white, christian nation, god dammit!!!

But hey, it's the free market at work, right? If you don't like it, don't spend your hard-earned money there... Like when Jesus sold all of those fishes and loaves at a huge markup to that crowd of starving people.

I'd never worn buttons or pins until I put a red "A" lapel pin on my jacket 3 years ago--it's still there. This video has me thinking, again, about wearing something stronger; I really don't think anyone has a clue about what the red "A" means (unless they've read <span>The Scarlet Letter</span>). I saw a Flying Spaghetti Monster lapel pin (with "FSM" in the center) for sale recently, but I'm thinking that words would be far better. For example, I think that a "Faith is a vice!" pin/button would be understood. If the Xn pukes can put their views in our faces, then I'm for doing the same to them; let them be disturbed every time they see one of us.

He's a Christian supremacist, just like the rest of the Christian Nation herd of freaks. In fact, I believe "Christian supremacy" to be a very apt description of their agenda. I don't know what else one would call the "7 mountains" movement--for example.

Bigots do not get a free pass here. </span></span><span><span> </span></span><span><span>Is that report from Columbia, South Carolina? I think so. Damn! Those Southern fucktards really need to stop fucking their siblings and cousins; as the centuries roll on the devastating consequences of all of that Dixie inbreeding is becoming a threat to our nation’s stability. </span></span><span><span> </span></span><span><span>Perhaps those imbeciles should have the courage of their convictions and get the fuck out of our free, constitutional republic…again. Good riddance to them if they do. </span></span><p><span><span> </span></span></p>

What if enough people parked their cars in front of each pump and just sat there all day in protest? then if the cops are called, each person could act dumb saying they're having trouble operating the pump.( hence more time the station loses more $$.

Nah, it wouldn't work. Stations make almost no money (about 1% or less per sale) on gas purchases, the real profits go to the oil and refining companies- and the government, of course, by way of taxes. And if you charge it, credit fees put the owners in the red, which is why you might see cheaper rates for customers using cash - and that's also why rebate earning "gas cards" are very common these days... more money for banks and big oil.

Private owners of gas stations make most of their money from that carton of milk decide to purchase while filling your tank, or that slice of pizza you realized that you were hungry for as soon as you saw it. So if you did procrastinate in protest, you'll probably get thirsty and end up buying a Pepsi from the owner anyway.

I'm not nearly as upset about the fact that a business wants to cater to only believers as I am that they spread the lie that this is "one nation under god" while doing so. It's the lie being told as justification for it that's the biggest problem. People being spiteful and hateful isn't really all that damaging as long as their hateful statements are couched in the form of subjective opinion. It's when they start telling objective untruths that there's a problem. I'm not a fan of hate-speech laws because they tend to attack the wrong part of the problem - making it illegal to be hateful regardless of justification. You get into just as much trouble for truthful hateful things as for false hateful things, and that's wrong. The problem with the gas pump message - the ONLY problem with it - is the lie it tells about the history of the country. The fact that it's hateful while it does so is secondary.Being hateful of a group is just plain bigotry. Being hateful about a group so that you don't mind spreading lies about them, on the other hand, is propaganda - and that's a far far worse problem.

Well that's the point, isn't it? I mean they seem to be running this as a nice little story with no controversy. "Hey, there's this patriotic message at the gas station and everybody loves it. They aren't even doing it for publicity! Good, eh?"

I'm sorry, but if they were taking this at all seriously, they could have found at least one person to a least say, "well I'm not keen on it but I guess it's their right. Seems a little weird though."

I wonder how they'd react if you walked in, explained that you didn't like the message you received when about to pay and told them that you were going to leave now. "Hey, you can't leave without paying!" - "Oh suddenly you DON'T want us to leave. Is that it?"

I agree that this part of the country is sick. However, rural Europe is not necessarily much better. Maybe the bigotry has a slightly different spectrum, and maybe there isn't as much rural area in Europe as compared with US.

If you look at a map of Union/Confederates States in the Civil War and a map of the split between Obama and McCain in the 2008 Prez Elec. the only real difference is that there are a lot more fairly empty states filled in on one of them.America was FOUNDED on the fact that there are TWO Americas. The two major and horrible effects of this were a free/slave State balance for 100 years (followed by near slave level discrimination for 100 more), and the creation of the Senate where every State gets two Senators. Both horribly anti-human rights/fairness/freedom and still paying the price for them both. The 'South' has never fallen.
